Out of line is a book born from this long quarantine that forced us to stay at home, the result of the idea of designer and creative director Valerio Oliveri and designer and artistic director Max Spencer.

“I wanted to help people in trouble, I wanted to do it in a way that was as meaningful as it was fun, so I started poking around for inspiration. It was then that I realized how many of my friends complained that they were both hopelessly bored and excited without being able to do anything. Many of them were falling into a myriad of thousand-year-old tropes, cooking mother dough, doing puzzles. Then someone mentioned coloring books. How do you make coloring books more fun? Sex, of course.”
